281. building a wall
After Wan Gyu's narration, everyone knew. It turned out that out of the window was another yard, and in the yard lived Wan Zhenshan, the old owner of the Wanjia mansion. Since the Lingjiabao incident last year, Wan Zhenshan has never returned to Wanjia's old house. But before that, Wan Zhenshan lived in the old mansion most of the time. And the most terrifying thing in the old mansion is that Wan Zhenshan will get up every night to "build a wall".
Building a wall is not playing mahjong, but a real wall. Legend has it that Wan Zhen Mountain was very focused when he got up at night to build the wall. Occasionally, I would hear Wan Zhenshan chanting words in his mouth: "Senior brother, I will burn paper for you, you have to stay in it well, don't come out to scare me." ”
Over time, all the families thought that the courtyard was haunted, and few people dared to enter it. Only when Wan Zhen Mountain was called, did he go in tremblingly. Fortunately, Wanzhen Mountain is a Jianghu person, and no one is generally expected to serve him at night, otherwise the life of the people of the ten thousand families will be even more sad.
And Wan Zhenshan has been running for almost a year, and this courtyard has been empty, not to mention that people dare not go over, even Wan Gui and Wan Zhenshan's apprentices dare not go over easily. And when it was night, the courtyard was even more empty, and no one dared to go there.
Listening to Tie Shou's tone, Shui Sheng actually ran to this courtyard at night, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink. At this moment, dusk is approaching, which sets off a terrifying atmosphere. But who this passerby is, of course, he will not be afraid of these. I asked Zhang Chuang to take people to continue to patrol the old mansion of Wanjia, and then took the rest of the people out of the window and into the courtyard. In fact, Tie Shou had already seen it in the courtyard, and Shui Sheng's footprints did extend all the way to the haunted room that everyone said.
Zhan Zhao and Hou Liqiao immediately ordered the Datong Army and the Taiping Guards to be on guard in the courtyard, and the two of them personally patrolled around the courtyard. Fei Fei, Qin Qiong, Tie Shou, Chen Dao, Lei Guang, Fan Hu, Blood Knife Ancestor, and Di Yun followed me and continued to enter the room to check. Qi Fang also joined Zhang Chuang with water spinach, because no one knew what would happen in the yard, so it was not good to let the mother and son come in and take risks.
As twilight began to rise, the light in the courtyard became dimmer and dimmer, and even now I felt a little eerie in the cubicle. At this time, Fan Hu suddenly said "Huh". Everyone followed Fan Hu's gaze and saw that there was a pool of blood stains at the door of the room.
Just listen to Tie Shou: "There are no other footprints in the yard, and this blood stain is very likely to be from Shui Sheng." Judging from the distribution of blood stains, it does not look like it is flowing from the body, but it looks like it is spitting out. And the footsteps are not messy, which means that Shui Sheng was injured before. And judging from the situation in Shui Sheng's room, the injury may not be in the room, but somewhere else. Because the footprints in the room were not messy, there was no trace of Shui Sheng's confrontation with people. ”
Qin Qiong nodded: "This also means that Shui Sheng escaped from the courtyard over there." The time was likely to be at night, and the people chasing her didn't expect her to run over, let alone come to check, so she escaped by luck. It's just that after Shui Sheng escapes, where will he go? ”
At this time, Lei Guang was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that Wan Zhenshan has been staying in this courtyard, but other people don't know?" ”
Di Yun's eyes couldn't help but wipe a trace of surprise, with his understanding of Wanzhen Mountain, it was likely to be like this. And Shui Shengshen fled here in the middle of the night, and met a wicked person like Wan Zhenshan, I really don't know what fate will become.
At this time, Fan Hu said "huh" again. When everyone looked at him again, they understood what was going on. It turns out that the footprints of Shui Sheng have ended here, and there are no more footprints of Shui Sheng. And before Shui Sheng's footprints disappeared, there was also no trace of a fight. And judging from the footprints, Shui Sheng doesn't look like he fainted. At the same time, there were no traces of the water sheng falling on the ground. This also means that Shui Sheng was at the door of this room, and was suddenly controlled by someone with a move, and then Shui Sheng disappeared into this courtyard.
Lei Guang had already taken out the fire fold and quickly lit it. Because it was already dark at this time, it was difficult to see anything in the yard, let alone in the room. Qin Qiong, Iron Hand, Cheng Biting Jin, and Blood Knife Ancestor all began to be on guard at the moment when the fire fold was lit. However, after the fire fold was lit, we were not attacked in any way. And under the light of the fire fold, everyone has found the footprints in the room. Strangely, all but four footprints left in the doorway were in the middle of the house.
And the four footprints at the door are also exquisite. Two footprints outwards and two footprints inward.
"It confirms our judgment." Qin Qiong said, "The two footprints outward were left by the people in the house when they jumped out. After jumping out, this person left no other footprints, and restrained Shui Sheng with one move. Then the man took the water sheng and turned back to the middle of the house. ”
This also means that if it weren't for Shui Sheng's sudden arrival, this person would not have planned to go out of the door at all. Every time he entered the room, he must not have entered or exited through the door. Lei Guang analyzed.
"That's right." Tetsu also said, "Next, we must first find the footprints left by this person after bringing Shui Sheng in." These footprints are easy to find. Because this is the only set of footprints that pass in the direction of the door. Also, because the person is carrying a person, the footprints should be clearer than the others. ”
Fan Hu was greatly impressed when he heard this: "Then let's go find this set of footprints now?" ”
No one objected. Fan Hu entered the house first, and Lei Guang hurriedly followed with Huozi. Now it's him holding the fire fold, and he's indispensable.
Just after Lei Guang and Fan Hu found the footprints, Zhan Zhao suddenly came in and said, "The guest is here." What to do? ”
Iron Hand waved his hand: "Everyone withdraw immediately, and we will come back in the evening." ”
While everyone was retreating, Tie Shou said: "General, stay and let Zhang Chuang also withdraw with people." We must get out clean. Guests can stay in the courtyard with peace of mind. ”
I nodded, and when I got back to the courtyard, I immediately ordered everyone to retreat, and then go back to the temporary station. In the blink of an eye, all the investigators and others walked away.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, this time leaving Cheng Biting Jin and Blood Knife Ancestor to take care of Qi Fang, Zhang Chuang's troops and the Taiping Guards of the Datong Army were all left, and the others followed the path that Zhanzhao had just surveyed, all the way to the night to explore thousands of homes.
is worthy of being the elder brother of Taiping, and the path of Zhanzhao's investigation is just enough to enter that courtyard without knowing it. In fact, this is also thanks to the choice of Wanzhen Mountain. As a Jianghu person, there is always a time to go out at night, and you can't go through the gate, so Wan Zhenshan built his yard in a corner of Wanjia, and left a hidden passage suitable for entering and exiting. These passages are all walled. On the surface, it seems that these places are not suitable for climbing, but in fact, they are all suspicious.
Everyone chose a passage and sneaked into the courtyard quietly. It was still Zhan Zhao who went to investigate first. After a while, Zhan Zhao waved his hand and made a silent appearance at the same time. Everyone quietly approached Zhanzhao's side. As far as the eye can see, a strange picture comes into view.
The moonlight has already reflected in the window, allowing us to see the inside more clearly. Sure enough, there was a man building a wall inside. And Qin Qiong, Lei Guang, Fan Hu, and Di Yun have all seen this person, and found that he is Wan Zhenshan.
Wanzhen Mountain Wall is very attentive. While building the wall, he chanted: "Senior brother, I will burn paper for you." ”
Suddenly, Wan Zhenshan swept away all the half-built walls: "Senior brother of the dog day, you lied to Lao Tzu, you are not dead, you have already come out of the wall, and you have worried Lao Tzu for a long time in vain." ”
After speaking, Wan Zhenshan looked in the direction of the moon, as if he had been thinking. Suddenly, he shook his head and said, "No, this time Lao Tzu built you in it to death." It won't happen again. Haha, junior brother, you can rest in peace. Lao Tzu went to sleep. ”
After speaking, Wan Zhenshan took a few steps to the bed, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
Iron finger pointed at Zhanzhao and made a gesture to leave a trace. Then he waved at us and made a gesture for everyone to retreat. I immediately waved my hand, indicating that I would listen to the iron hand. Everyone quickly withdrew with me and Iron Hand. I found a suitable place to hide, and everyone kept looking at the courtyard wall.
At this time, Tie Shou said: "Wait for Wanzhen Mountain to come out, don't go with you, just follow Zhanzhao." So as not to startle the snake. ”
Everyone nodded. At this time, Tie Shou said again: "Mrs. Xiong, after Wan Zhenshan and Zhanzhao go away, you take Lei Guang and Fan Hu to go in to find the sandwich wall, and Shui Sheng is mostly inside." Maybe it's still alive, everyone must be fast. Let's see if we can save Shui Sheng. ”
Fei Fei nodded: "Don't worry, I will do this well." ”
After waiting for about ten minutes, Wan Zhen Mountain came out of the wall. This time he was in good spirits, and it was clear that he was no longer sleepwalking. And only after he had gone for a distance did Zhan Zhao come out of it and follow him all the way. Seeing that Wan Zhenshan was gone, and Zhanzhao could only vaguely see a back, with a wave of his iron hand, Fei Fei immediately took Lei Guang and Fan Hu into the courtyard. And the rest followed the iron hand and followed Zhanzhao all the way.
After about ten more minutes of tracking, Zhanzhao suddenly stopped. When we came to Zhanzhao's side, we saw Wanzhen Mountain stop on a hill. At this time, the morning light was already slightly revealed. Wan Zhenshan faced the morning light and stretched comfortably. Suddenly, he said: "Second junior brother, third junior brother, since you have already come, don't hide anymore, come out." ”
The laughter sounded, and Yan Daping and Qi Changfa really came out. At this time, he heard Yan Daping smile and said, "Senior brother, I heard that there is another big incident in your family." Senior brother thinks about it, and only senior brother can let a person mysteriously disappear in your house. So the junior brother came over. ”
Qi Changfa also smiled: "Yes, senior brother, it's been almost a year since Ling Jiating said goodbye. The younger brother misses the two senior brothers very much. Later, I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the senior brother got the baby again, so I came uninvited today. ”
Wan Zhenshan snorted: "That's right, Senior Brother Nine Yin White Bone Claw I have already practiced." Do you want to try it? That book has been hidden, so don't think about it. ”
Yan Daping shook his head and said, "Senior brother is ridiculous. Since I was a child, my junior brother has liked to study my senior brother, so my junior brother has already looked for all the places where my senior brother might hide things, but there is no one at all. Therefore, the junior brother thinks that the book must still be on the senior brother. Although the Nine Yin White Bone Claw is powerful, the junior brother has also practiced kung fu hard this year, and even quietly went to General Xiong's army to be an inconspicuous soldier. It's very good, the junior brother has not only improved his strength, but also has a good class. Do you want to try it? ”
Qi Changfa immediately gave Yan Daping a thumbs up: "Second senior brother is mighty. Big brother is not bad either. It seems that only junior brother, I am going to be a fisherman here today. The two senior brothers should fight quickly, it is best to lose both, and the junior brother will be able to get into trouble. ”
Wan Zhenshan couldn't help but be stunned: "Third junior brother, you also heard it, the second brother has entered Xiong Er's volunteer army, and now his strength is not what it used to be, even if the senior brother's Nine Yin White Bone Claw may not be his opponent." The third junior brother is really sure, after the second brother snatched something, can you still beat him? ”
Qi Changfa was also stunned when he heard it: "Yes, what Senior Brother said is really right." It seems that the junior brother is about to change his mind. It's okay, when the time comes, the senior brother can't stop it, and the younger brother will also help. You two fight it. ”
Yan Daping suddenly felt a chill down his spine: "Third brother, don't be confused by the senior brother." You must know that after today, the senior brother does not know where he will hide again. So for the current matter, it's better to ask the book first. When you get the book, with the mind of the third junior brother, from childhood to adulthood, when will the second senior brother be able to fight the third junior brother? ”
Qi Changfa nodded again and said, "Yes." It's better to grab the book first. ”
